California Land Use and Planning Law

By Cecily Talbert Barclay and Matthew S. Gray

Book Overview

For over three decades, Curtin?s California Land Use & Planning Law has provided a succinct and definitive summary of the major provisions of California?s land use and planning laws. Curtin?s has been cited the the California Supreme Court and numerous appellate courts as an authoritative source. The new edition contains new, expanded discussions of several topics, including: ? A new and revised analysis of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) case law providing much-needed guidance regarding climate change analyses and the use of future anticipated growth in the calculation of environmental baselines (chapter 6) ? A 2011 amendment to the Subdivision Map Act that extends the expiration date of tentative maps due to expire before January 1, 2014 (chapter 5) ? An update on efforts by the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to clarify their jurisdiction to regulate wetlands under the Clean Water Act following the Supreme Court?s 2006 decision in United States v. Rapanos (chapter 7) ? Significant developments in case law affecting various aspects of land use litigation, including public interest standing, the calculation of statutes of limitation and the effect of defective notice, and statutorily-imposed standards of review (chapter 21) For twenty-seven years, Dan Curtin authored this book as a handy desk reference for those interested in California land use and planning law. Beginning in 2000, Dan and Cecily worked together drawing on their own and their partners? decades of experience representing both public agencies and private developers. Dan passed away in November 2006. Like the 2007 through 2011 editions, this book is again dedicated to Dan.
